Why drive a bus?

Bus driving offers a unique, flexible employment opportunity:

• Find a perfect fit if you’re looking for part-time hours. Work a split day shift from Monday to Friday. This allows for another job to be worked between the bus runs.
• It may be possible to bring a preschool child along on your route, and save on daycare costs if there is room on the bus.
• Take summers and holidays off with your children.
• Receive training to upgrade to a Class 2 license
• Receive a government grant for training

Note: Benefits may vary by contractor.
